For Honor free weekend incoming with incentives for current players

In an effort to bring in new players, Ubisoft will be holding a free for honor weekend next week.

From 3-6 May, gamers will be able to jump in and slash each other to bits in the full game. This will include multiplayer modes, a campaign playable solo or with a friend in online co-op, and the original roster of 12 heroes.

To help new players, Ubisoft will also be launching the Warrior Training Program. This will reward existing players who work alongside new players during the free weekend. Veteran players who complete five matches while grouped with new players taking advantage of the free weekend will receive two weeks of revamped Champion Status, valued at 8,000 Steel, which will deliver even more XP boosts to players and their team as well as more loot following a match. It’s a good way to bring new players up to speed.

New players will also be offered a 75% discount on the full game up until 15 May.
